Mike East:
I'm in a cubicle. And I'm hot and sticky. They won't turn on the air. I stole my boss' box fan out of his office. I'd be outraged, but I'm too hot and sticky to cause a fuss. And thus the revolution dies.

@pj: FYI: "With red hair being rare, a child born to non red headed parents was often assumed to be the child of an affair. Thus was treated badly, usually in the form of beatings." urban dictionary

if you don't try any psychedelics it's like dying a virgin

@ johnforz: yes, I did see it and I did like it very much.

Cecile:
I'll be happy to never take them- my brother in law took bad acid in the 70s and has been paying forever for it.

Thu. 6/5/14 5:25pm
Cecile:
but other people are free to do what they want.
I have no beef with it, but it's not for me.

At low volume, from across the room, it sounds like bees are trapped in the laptop.

Rev. Turnip Druid:
I still can't read any of my notes. But the secret to reality is IN THERE, man, I had EVERYTHING figured out. If I can ever crack the code of that dreadful scrawl, I'll be the new messiah.

[let the record show that these revelations were some 28 years ago and the Rev. is a well-behaved clergyman these days...]

Cecilie: Respectfully, "bad acid" is kind of a myth. if it's "bad", it's not acid. There aren't good and bad varieties of acid, there's only one flavor. The term "bad acid" was used for something represented as acid but not acid, or acid laced with other drugs or impurities that are "bad."

Or it could just be a flashback. BBeeeenn tthheerree,, ddoonnee tthhaatt..

Cecile:
well, OK. it was laced with PCP and animal tranquilizers that made him very sick.

But since it's not legal right this second, you are at the mercy of the seller, and that is a risk I don't want to take, in addition to not being really interested in taking acid in the first place.

Bosh:
This is so beautiful! Exactly what I needed today!

Milson:
we used to call it "blotter paper"... ineffective tweak acid... ...a bad trip on the otherhand... I'll never forget this one dude whose GF was pregnant and having a baby. She kept calling to ask why he was not at the hospital with her. He was freaking out... we, unconsciously, and not knowing if the calls were real ourselves, convinced him that she was trying to mess with him, knowing he was frying balls. It went back and forth like this all night... the next morning, he was a proud papa... He missed the birht of his daughter, but he became a bureaucrat and the rest is in a report due by COB today.

Cecile:
it is very soothing. making me feel less stabby

Carrie Fisher: So you took LSD to cure your homosexuality under a doctor's care. What advice do you have for me?

Cary Grant: Don't take LSD to cure your homosexuality.

Laura Huxley: What a babe!
She obtained the acid that her husband wanted to be tripping on when he died. Was there ever a better wife?

steve:
i hear ya Cecile. i took the drugs a few times (always in best possible settings) and am glad i did, but they turned my uncle (who apparently took too much, or took something "bad" in the 60s) into a permanent 12 year old who's needed to be taken care of by my family ever since. no joke.

Cheers Cecile, I'm with you: "I will leave the tripping to the psychedelic pros."

Journey's first two LPs are pretty good, almost proggy.

There were a few other vocalists between Perry and the new guy.

still b/p:
There were some fun, odd trips and big laugh sessions and interesting rushes in those times....but you look back and shake your head at the nonchalance and risks. Buying some trip material from a shivering scruffy stranger on Boston Common, not smart behavior, and not a good product. Buying brown acid at a Dead concert, not a good product -- no bad outcome but who the hell knows what people are selling you. 15 and 16 year olds lining up to buy mescaline, later revealed to be purple microdot, from a 19 year old in a ski dorm, a somewhat troubling scene & recollection.

new theory of the Black Plague: Rats could not have been responsible because the disease spread too quickly. The new theory is that malnutrition made the disease spread faster
